I've seen them before a few times but i can't for the life of me i can't remember who sells them. I initially thought they were Badster items but i can't seem to find them. Can anyone point me in the direction of these and maybe a price?

This is a member's VX with them... I can't even recall the member to pm him :lol: My brains frazzled after a weekend in Blackpool :drink:

I've got a pair of the Edel bumper vents in the garage that I was going to get fitted a year or two back. Bottled it in the end as it seemed to be a bad move to cut chunks out of a perfect original clam. Not sure they're a good idea either, given what happened to a certain members inner arch liner when he was moving at speed and it decided to part ways with the car. So fitting them, might require managing the air flow. :unsure: Edel's owner is a member on here and his username is Collin. thumbsup

:yeahthat:

Me neither. It's not an Audi, I wouldn't want it to look like one.

I don't like the front clam vents either, personally I prefer the front fog lights.

I really like them and as long as the air has somewhere to go (ie the brakes) then they can be a good idea.

I think they look great, but as said one for a crash repaired clam, put them in while repairing - chopping big holes in a perfect clam just seems wrong. Sure the air flow could be collected and sent to the brakes?

I've toyed with selling them, ever since I took delivery of them. But I'm going to keep hold of them until the inevitable happens and someone hits the front of the car, or I do something silly on track. I did actually start the process of mocking up some ducting to fit to them but as usual, ran out of patience/interest. :rolleyes:

Drop Mike at Edel an email (ms@ms-edel-car-parts.de). He speaks and writes perfect English. Only slight downer was that the only payment they accepted was a bank transfer, which meant an additional cost from the bank. That was October 2008, so things might have progressed. thumbsup

high pressure air going in to the wheel arches , low pressure over the top. reduced air pressure on the front splitter. sounds like a nightmare over 70mph
